It seems I'm the only one, but I'm slightly disappointed in the new album from The National. Even for a band that doesn't change up its style very much at all, this album just feels "safe," like it was tailored to get a strong review from indie critics. Half of the drums sound like they were sampled from various tracks on Boxer. I have to say it's hard not to be slightly bored by it. This coming from a guy who thought High Violet was probably their best album ever, though

"Demons," "Hard to Find," and especially "Humiliation" are all really good songs though.
